Kwara State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Thursday adjourned petition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the declaration of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq on the allegation that the governor had presented a forged certificate. The tribunal said that the adjournment was to enable a representative of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to present his subpoena. The tribunal had earlier adjourned to Thursday for full hearings to begin in the PDP petition. Otaru said the petitioners had nearly three weeks since the tribunal adjourned to get the WAEC representative to appear before the tribunal to prove its case but waited till June 9 to serve the subpoena. The tribunal however granted the application, saying the petitioners were still within their time limit of four days to argue their case.
